Grandma - You DO Make a Significant Difference!

I wrote a book, the DNA of Grandparents & Parents Who Hand Down Confident Faith  (available at this link) for grandparents (and parents) and in one chapter I share some of the history of Fanny Crosby - today I'm sharing a bit of it with you. 

Today is International Tea Day

While I am not a big fan of hot tea, I do enjoy iced blueberry, green tea all year long, so a day to celebrate tea sounds like a good idea to me. Tea, of course has been around for a very long time, so a great way to celebrate today - along with drinking some tasty tea - is to learn some interesting facts about tea - did you know . . .

Happy Children's Day!

  

Yes, today is Children's Day! I'm a huge fan of this day; and so are my grands! Last year my youngest grand told me he was talking about Children's Day at school and most of his friends had never heard of it before! My  grands say they are so glad their grandma celebrates Children's Day!

Summer Reading - Created "Just Right" - Look What Lives in Africa!

If we surround the children we love with books which will capture their attention, they will speak sooner, develop a larger vocabulary, learn to read sooner, do better at school, and will want to read all the time. Yesterday I wrote about one such book - Created "Just Right" - Look What Lives in Asia!, and today I want to let you know about another book in the series which will absolutely capture the attention of the children you love - Created "Just Right" - Look What Lives in Africa! This is a picture book filled with full-color photos - two of each animal, and some interesting, fun facts about each one as well.

Water-Wars for Children's Day Fun!

Tomorrow is Children's Day, so, what might the children you love want to do if it is a warm, sunny day and they are at your house? 

Play in the water! And, not just play in the water, but use squirt guns if you have them.

Summer Reading - Created "Just Right" - Look What Lives in Asia

Yesterday I wrote about one of the "Created 'Just Right'" books (Look What Lives in the Americas & Europe!) Today I'm happy to let you know about one more book in the series - Look What Lives in Asia! This is a picture book filled with full-color photos - two of each animal, and some interesting, fun facts about each one as well.

National Donut Day!

Today is National Donuts Day - I do love donuts, but rarely eat them. But, a day to celebrate these wonderful, tasty treats is a great - or tasty idea for sure! So, on this day I thought I'd share some fun information about donuts and a recipe for baked donuts - they have to be better for you than fried donuts, although, certainly not "healthy". So, first for some fun facts - did you know . . .

Summer Reading - Look What Lives in the Americas & Europe

As I shared over the past couple weeks, during covid my grands and I wrote 12 books about animals, so earlier this year I took the animals from these books and put together a series for young children (although everyone loves picture books about animals, so all ages will enjoy them!) Today I am happy to let you know about the book - "Look What Lives in the Americas & Europe".  This is a picture book filled with full-color photos - two of each animal, and some interesting, fun facts about each one as well.

One More Pair Eyewear Topper - the Black Holographic Flakes!

Yesterday I wrote about one of my new toppers for my Pair Eyewear glasses - the Pride Party Dots topper - which I absolutely LOVE! Today I am very happy to let you know about my other new topper - the Black Holographic Flakes! Pair Eyewear says, "This shiny black Top features iridescent flakes scattered throughout." and I say it is an absolutely beautiful topper! The black shimmers and the holographic flakes add pops of color with every move of your head - what isn't there to LOVE about this wonderful topper! I am SO happy to add it to my collection.

Summer Reading - Created 'Just Right! Look What Lives in Australia & New Zealand

During COVID my grands and I put together the twelve books in the  Life on the Goldilocks Planet series which help us see how animals show us God is real because He made everything "just right". In these books (which I have shared with you over the past couple weeks), you find full-color photos, fun facts, along with crafts, science projects, and recipes for the entire family to enjoy as they learn about the animals and discover how they help them have a confident faith. These books (The Life on the Goldilocks Planet series) are ideal for children ages four through fourteen - and the entire family.

But, since younger children enjoy picture books, I took animals from these books and combined them into six picture books which show animals and include just a couple of the fun facts for each animal to make books for younger children ages three through seven. These new books - "Created 'Just Right!'" are now available in both print and kindle ebook formats!  

More Pair Eyewear - Another New Topper!

This past January when I had to get new glasses, I decided to try Pair Eyewear. This line of glasses was designed to have magnetic top frames which you are able to change out for an entirely new look and style - it is SUCH a fantastic idea! It is like getting an entirely new pair of glasses for only $25 or $30 - the cost of a new topper. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE Pair Eyewear!
